AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 14
SUBJECT
Resolution 2012-023 Authorizing the Lease of City-Owned Property at 812 North Shields for Up to Two Years.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2000, the City purchased the property located at 812 North Shields as part of the Operations Services Master Plan.
Leasing of the property has been continual from the time of purchase. Staff recommends that the City continue to
lease this site.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The purchase of this property in 2000 was part of the original Operations Services Master Plan. The property is
comprised of a 1,568 square foot, 2 bedroom/1.5 baths, ranch-style single-family dwelling, in fair condition, on 3 acres
of residential land with no horse facilities. The tenant maintains the open field, which reduces City ground maintenance
costs.
The City has leased this property since its purchase in 2000 and desires to continue leasing the property.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Rent collected from this lease will result in at least $10,500 per year as revenue to Real Estate Services. The tenant
pays all utilities. Having the property occupied will eliminate costly ground maintenance and will discourage vandalism
in vacant structures.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
